This website was started in June 2019 to share information about planning efforts in Mill Creek Canyon in Moab. It will be updated and changed as community meetings happen and there is more information to provide. Thanks for checking in!
A Working Group to develop draft recommendations for review by the larger group started meeting on Dec 15th followed by three meetings in January and one in early February. Members of this group are:
Betsy Byrne, NPS facilitator
Jim Webster, GSAR
Brian Murdock, neighbor
Richard Cooke, neighbor
Maddie Logowitz, Grand County Active Trails
Sara Melnicoff, Moab Solutions
Kara Dohrenwend, Rim to Rim Restoration and note taker
Mila Dunbar-Irwin, Grand County Planning
The group set out to reach consensus about recommendations for the Powerdam Area/Front Country, the Middle Country access points and canyon areas and the Back Country areas of the canyon including the Riparian Corridor.
​
The smaller group will bring these recommendation to the larger group at a meeting in late February with the intention of having a final document to present to the BLM, City of Moab, Grand County and adjacent land owners with long and short term recommendations for actions that will help protect the ecological and archeological integrity of the canyon.

Notes and information presented by this group is included here for your review.
